FARRINGDON WARD WITHIN, Dac. 21, 1833. AT a WARDMOTE, held this day, at the great room, late the College of Physicians, Warwick-lane, before the Right Worshipful THOMAS KELLY, Esq., Alder man of the said Ward, for the Choice of Ward Officers for the year ensuing, It was resolved, 1. That the transmission through London of country letters by the mails from the metropolitan Post-office on Sundays, which, acording to the evidence given by a competent witness before a Committee of the House of Commons, would require the attendance at the Post-office of many additional clerks and other officers, and would set in motion messengers and others, and would render it necessary to make up the bags, and that every thing should be done on the Sabbath as on other days, is a measure which this Wardmote deprecates in the strongest manner, as op posed to the preservation of the undisturbed quiet and rest, and to the performance of the peculiar duties of the day, and is incon sistent with most important interests, religious, moral, and social. Resolved unanimously, 2. That the cordial thanks of this Ward mote be given to Mr. Thomas Warne, late Common Councilman of this Ward, for his very efficient services in that capacity, for his zealous attention to its local interests, and for his kind support of the various charitable institutions of the City, but particularly for the handsome manner in which he has declined allowing his friends to demand a poll in his favour at this election rather than disturb the unanimity of the Ward. 3. That the cordial thanks of this Wardmote are due and are hereby given to the Right Worshipful Thomas Kelly, Esq., our much respected Alderman, for his able and impartial conduct in the Chair this day, and for the exemplary and inflexible manner in which he has at all times discharged the duties of his magisterial office, and also for the free access afforded by him to his fellow-citizens. 4. That the warmest thanks of this Wardmote be given to our worthy Deputies Joseph Daw, Esq., and Robert Westwood, Esq., and also to the other gentlemen who have represented this Ward in the Court of Common Council, for the manner in which they have discharged the important duties of their office during the past year. That the foregoing resolutions be signed by the Ward Clerk, and inserted in the usual papers. J. WARREN, Ward Clerk. ,:AGLE FURNACE and FOUNDRY COM PANY, GREAT BRIDGE, STAFFORDSHIRE.

NEW ORMWM-STIOST, BZDAl!pdtbw, LoN DIM That while we unfeignedly rejoice in the declarations which have,been made that there has not existed any intention of sanc tioning the delivery of letters on Sundays, we cannot but appre hend from the tone of such declarations that is intended to dis patch letters from the Post Office on the evening of the Sabbath. That it is of the highest importance to the religious and moral welfare of the Community to guard by all practicable means against the desecration of the Sabbath, and that it may justly be appre hended that the slightest relaxation of such a principle will issue in results tending to the subversion of that decent observance of the day which so happily prevails in the metropolis. That it e therefore trust that those to whom the government of this Christian country is confided, will duly consider the responsi bility attached to their high and important stations ; and that so far from listening to the suggestions of these-who would recom mend a deviation from the present mede of conducting the Post Office in London, on the ground of the delivery, and other busi ness connected with the transmission of letters on Sundays being allowed in other parts of the kingdom, they will rather seek to ex tend to the other cities and towns throughout the land the Sab batic privileges, which, as is respects the Post, are so happily en joyed by the inhabitants of the metropolis. That the foregoing Resolutions, signed by the Ald erman , h e transmitted to her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, with a request that he will he pleased to sub mit them to the proper authorities. That the respectful thanks of this Wardmote be presented to the Right Worshipful Anthony Brown, Esq., Alderman of this Ward, for his impartiality while presiding at this Wardmote, his careful attention at all times to the intrests of the inhabitants of the Ward, and for the very able and satisfactory manner in which he discharges the important duties of an Alderman and Magistrate of this City. That the foregoing resolutions be advertized in the usual Morn ing and Evening Papers. WAI. MURRAY, Ward Clerk. SINGULARLY VALUABLE PROPERTY is brought into the market solely by means of the decease of the late proprietor, who originally embarked a small property, with almost fear and trembling, in respect to the probability of a favourable result. However, success was not even one solitary season at all equivocal, and the result has been that during five short months only in every year, A RAPID FORTUNE HAS BEEN REALIZED. It is probably one of the most elegant as well as convenient buil, ings in any town in England. The STYLE of the BOULEVARD is marked with consummate skill and judgment. It is two hundred feet long, including 'lre SPLENDID CONCERT ROOM, and a Refreshment Room recently created. It is especially adapted to Bails and Concerts, independently of its mercantile advantages, and there is 100 feet of counter on each side of the entrance to it. There is also a comfortable Dwelling-house in Cecil-square, and the taxes for the whole do not exceed 201. It would be difficult to find a parallel case, where the prospective view of a certain fortune is so apparent. To illustrate this fact it may be remarked the receipts have varied from Eight to TEN THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR; and although Mr. Robins is not anxious to disclose the " secrets of the prison house," he must in candour admit the profits to exceed 40 per cent. The purchaser may have on moderate terms all or any portion of the Stock, which is modern, and of the best quality. Principals of respectability will be treated with great liberality. Letters to be addressed (post paid) to Mr. George Robin's Offices, London. SALES BY AUCTION. ANTRIM HOUSE HOTEL, DUBLIN. 3/0 - R. GEORGE ROBINS i s i nstructe d b y t h e _AL Proprietor to dispose of THE ANTRIM HOUSE HOTEL IN MERRION-SQUARE, D ÜBLIN. Those who h ave b een familiar for many a long year with the supe rior pretensions of THIS SPLENDID FAMILY HOTEL, will not need to have its manifold advantages enUmerated ; it is with a view to illumine those who have not had the good fortune to be a guest, and partake of its great comfort, that a few lines will be addressed. The Hotel is wisely placed in the most fashion able part of • DUBLIN'S FAVOURED CITY, in Merrion-square (which for outward show and inward accommo dation, leaves our Grosvenor-square at a respectful distance. It has been fitted up with a view to accommodate the Nobility and Gentry of the land. There are magnificent suites of apartments, and some of a minor character, so that " ALL SORTS AND CONDITIONS OF MEN" will find themselves at home at the Antrim Hotel. The situation ranks beyond any other in the city, and the comfort and accommo dation that will be found to preside throughout, are quite on a par with Morrison's, and it needs not a higher panegyric. The Property is Leasehold for 42 years ; the ground-rent a mere bagatelle. The furniture and fixtures are well adapted to this Establishment ; and a respectable applicant will find every disposi tion to facilitate his wishes, and consult " his ways and means." In conclusion it may be remarked that it presents a rare opportu nity to acquire an independence in quick time. Principals only need apply (and if by letter post paid) to Mr. George Robins, London. IN BRIGHTON, ST. PETER'S-PLACE—A CAPITAL FAMILY RESI DENCE, FREEHOLD of INHERITANCE, and in order for Instant Occupation. R. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by AUCTION at THE GLOCESTER HOTEL AND TAVERN, on the Parade, Brighton, on TUESDAY, the 22d January, at One for Two o'Clock, punctually. A FREEHOLD RESIDENCE of considerable pretensions— as well in respect to family comfort as in its outward form. It is situate in that portion of the town that is considered VERY RECHERCHE.—ST. PETER'S MANSION, IN ST. PETER'S-PLACE, is very close to the SPLENDID NEW CHURCH. It has two fronts, commanding distant and varied views. The one comprehends a lively view of the INTERMINABLE BUSTLE OF THE LONDON ROAD, with retiring rooms adapted to those who would repose in absolute quiet. An establishment for Pupils or a Clergyman could not be domesticated better. The Garden precludes any annoyance from the dust, and the view towards THE PALACE AND PAVILION GROUNDS is not to be exceeded by any contemporary in Brighton. The ac commodation within is most perfect, and precisely such as would be consistent with the inclination of those who think TOO MANY SPARE BEDS might be classed amongst the annoyances of human life—comfort, in its extended interpretation, presides throughout. The Proprietor (it may be remarked) erected this little mansion for his own occu pation—expense was scarcely a secondary consideration, a point which distinguishes it from the greater portion of Brighton Pro perty. The fitting up of the rooms is in good taste throughout, and in good keeping with the exterior. Its approximation to the Gloucester Hotel (where so much of the best company congregate) affords a pleasant auxiliary and lounge, if, par accident, ennui should occasionally intrude its unwelcome appearance. The Estate is Freehold of Inheritance; it is fitted up with Fix tures ; and in case early possession is required, fourteen days would be abundant time to accomplish it. ANY PORTION OF THE PURCHASE MONEY MAY REMAIN FOR SEVEN YEARS ON MORTGAGE. Particulars will be ready immediately, and then had at the Glou cester and the Old Ship Hotels ' • Mr. Wright' s Lib rary ; o f M r . Edwards ( Agent for Houses), London-road, all of Brighton ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London. IN BRIGHTON. THE GLOCESTER HOTEL AND COFFEE-HOUSE. A FREEHOLD PROPERTY OF GREAT VALUE. AIR, GEORGE ROBINS has received the _INJL instructions of the surviving Trustee and Executor of the late Mr. SAMUEL BRIERLY to SELL by AUCTION on on TUESDAY, the 22d January, at One for Two o'clock A SINGULARLY VALUABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY FOR INVESTMENT OR OCCUPATION. l l o w c e k m pirseecsisely, • It comprehends THE GLOCESTER HOTEL AND COFFEE-HOUSE, very advantageously placed for business, in front of THE GRAND ENTREE INTO BRIGHTON, very near to the splendid new Church, and approaching THE PALACE AND PAVILION GROUNDS. From this statement it will be conceded that it yields not to any of its compeers forthe publicity of its situation, but it aspires infinitely beyond such faint praise. The Glocester has acquired a renown which has placed it in a peculiarly advantageous position with the public. In Brighton there always existed quite enough of HIGH HOTELS, and no great scarcity of LOW ones; it however be longed to the rapid march of the mind, and the energy and sagacity of the late Proprietor, to institute one of another character, where the Elite of merchants, stock brokers, solicitors, and others of high professional character, with families of great respectability, could re pose at a moderate expense, and thus lengthen their stay without increasing their intended outlay. During along course of active service, throughout this well regulated concern, comfort in its most comprehensive form has always been a leading attribute; next in suc cession is proverbial civility and unusual cleanliness in every depart ment ; wines of a character rarely to be encountered at the highest hotel in England; and last not least, it has acquired the distinguish ing feature of moderate charges. With such a repast, in the shape of combined advantages, the result could never be equivocal, and a large fortune has crowned the laudable efforts to succeed. The great point, however, to which Mr. Robins would direct public attention, is the knowledge that its " HIGH REPUTATION IS UNFADED," and a successor adopting the PLAN of his predecessor, by placing conspicuously the " MOTTO OF COMFORT, AND MODE RATE CHARGES," to welcome every guest, is certain to realise a large fortune at a _ _ ... _ RAILWAY PACE The ordinary limit of an advertisement precludes going more into detail. En passant it maybe said about FORTY BEDS ARE NIGHTLY lif REQUISITION; there are eight tavern or family rooms, a coffee-roo m , we ll f r equented, stabling for tw ent y -three horses, and standing for twenty carriages. The purchaser will be entitled to very early possession by taking the fu ra it ure an d suitable appendages a t a fair valuation, and GREAT ACCOMMODATION will be GIVEN in RESPECT to the PURCH ASE MONEY for the FREEHOLD.

The book is hot-pressed, and neatly bound in cloth and gold, so as to form a handsome Christmas or New Year's Present. " We have seldom noticed a tribute to the Muses presented in a shape more agreeable. These miscellaneous Poems possess consi derable merit. The fair authoress displays taste and sensibility, which the lovers of sweet and tranquil song must admire. Most of her compositions appeal to the heart; our feelings vibrate when she touches the lyre. She seems to live upon smiles and tears, doing justice to the subjects which employ her muse."—Morning Advertiser. " Th;s elegant volume opens with a poem of a length too consi derable to have appeared in a periodical publication, and therefore, while it is a good test of the lady's merits, it must be new to a great number of readers. Some of her scenes are extremely beau tiful, and others possess a strength which require a stronger term than beauty. The MORALE of the story is highly elevating, and we wish we could bestow the same praise upon many poems from the most celebrated pens. Here Lord Byron is rivalled, especially in the concluding lines of the first stanza. Miss Cook in the fol lowing passage enters the field with Sir Walter Scott. The present volume gives assurance of a bright poetic career."—Weekly Dis patch. _ " The writer of these very pretty poems has already been distin guished by the marked approbation of the public. This public patronage is so much the more honourable to the fair and elegant poetess, —as her name, upon her first publication, wcs totally un known to the public ; and, in the absence of i all patrons, the favour able recepti on o f h er wor k w as due to its intrinsic merit. Some of the poems are so exceedingly beautiful as to have struck us with a kind of wonder that such a poetess was not better known to us." —Bell's Weekly Messenger. " A fairy spell, wherein the mind delights to revel, as doth the buoyant bark to bound upon the broad expanse of ocean.' " There are in the nautical compositions of Eliza Cook many noble and spirited conceptions, th a t b es p ea k —besides a natural geniu s , th e poet's birth-right —a power and pathos that can only result from an impassioned devotion to sea-girt' subjects. There is in the poetry a power of description and a fullness of sentiment and feeling which are equally creditable to her head and to her heart. The miscel laneous poems are, for the most part, of a light and pleasing charac ter, and are written with much ease and playfulness. Indeed the toute ensemble forms an attractive little volume; and being hand somely embellished by a coloured vignette and frontispiece, and alto gether tastefully got up, it presents a very appropriate Christmas present, and an agreeable companion for the boudoir."—Shipping Gazette. " Her subjects are the storm, the wind, the joys of the seaman's life, &c. Eliza Cook has the daring that belongs to genius, and to it alone. She has had the courage to immortalize in verse the worth of an old horse, bought originally for a crown ; and has de dicated one of her best songs to a rushlight. Her strength is the strength of love, the universal love of God's creatures, which awakens a sympathy in her soul towards every thing that breathes of them. Thus the rushlight calls up to her mind thoughts of the solitary chamber of sickness ; of the lonely wife sitting up in the dreary winter night waiting for the reckless hus band ; of the garret; of the want-stricken wretch, who sees by the dim rushlight famine spread desolation over the wasted features of her children. There is health in the poetry of Eliza Cook; it is likely to make her readers happier and better. In her produc tions there is no line she would dying wish to blot ; and we say of her as some one said of Fenelon, If you be not one of the most amiable creatures in the world, then are you one of the greatest hypocrites in existence.' Miss Cook is by nature a lyrist, and as such we shall speak of her. It is not enough to say that Eliza Cook is the best female lyrist of the day. She may be fairly said to rival any writer of the other sex. She writes from, she appeals to the heart, and her songs affect all classes, because she deals with hopes, thoughts, and feelings common to us all. We do not mean to say that in the two hundred pages forming her little work there are no faults ; but after the in tense gratification we have felt during perusal, we have not the heart to find or point them out. We recommend the volume to every lover of genuine poetry—to every lover of his fellow-crea tures—to every mother and to every child ;in short, to all those who love to have their nobler and better feelings awakened."— Sunday Times. " The tone of feeling that pervades them is purd and healthy throughout, wherefore we have not the slightest doubt that the volume will be received with such favour by the public, as shall justify the authoress in venturing upon a second experiment" — Sun.
